Editing Super Leaf

{{ Infobox Item

| series      = ''{{uv|Mario}}''

The '''Super Leaf''' ({{ja|スーパーこのは|Sūpākonoha}}, ''Super Leaf'') is an item from the ''{{uv|Mario}}'' universe that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It gives the player raccoon ears and a tail, allowing them to float for about 3 seconds by holding the jump button in a similar manner to Peach's ability; unlike hers, though, the player will still slowly descend. If released before its time runs out, one can reactivate it at any time by holding down the jump button again. While floating, a character can still perform all of their attacks as normal. It can not be used while in a helpless state, such as after many characters' up-special moves.

 

 

Prior to becoming an item, it was mentioned in passing in the trophy description for Raccoon Mario in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.

Super Leaves first appeared in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' as a power-up item and have returned in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D Land}}'' and numerous games since. It turned [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] into {{s|mariowiki|Raccoon Mario}} and Raccoon Luigi, respectively (Fox Luigi in ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. 2}}'', and {{s|mariowiki|Tanooki Mario}} and Kitsune Luigi instead in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and ''Super Mario 3D World''), which let them slow descent (or briefly fly if they ran far enough) by waving the tail, and to attack enemies and hit blocks by swinging their tail. The design of the leaf itself is based around their recent redesign in ''Mario'' games. Its functions in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' are similar; it gives the fighter raccoon ears and a tail like Raccoon Mario, and allows the player to slow his or her fall, like in the ''Mario'' series. However, it does not allow the character to fly after running far enough or attack with the tail.

Equipping the ChuChu, Princess Shokora or Girl from Hajimari no Mori Support Spirits will give the player a Super Leaf at a start of a match.

*At one point in time, it had been considered to allow characters to attack with their tail, another feature this power-up gives in the ''Mario'' games, though it was decided against before the final release.

*Characters that naturally have a tail will have a second tail upon picking up the Super Leaf. Conversely, the raccoon ears are not visible on characters that already have pointed ears (with {{SSB4|Fox}} and {{SSB4|Lucario}} being two examples).

*Although {{SSB4|Luigi}}'s Raccoon and Tanooki forms are Kitsune-themed (as of ''Super Mario 3D Land''), he is seen in Raccoon form in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.

*For unknown reasons, {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}, {{SSB4|Olimar}}, {{SSB4|Ness}}, {{SSB4|Lucas}}, and {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} cannot float with the Super Leaf and simultaneously perform aerials.

*When a {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}} grabs a Super Leaf, they will only gain raccoon ears if they are not wearing any headgear; if they are, then only the tail will appear.

*{{SSB4|Bowser}} and {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}} can cancel the falling in their [[stall-then-fall]] [[down aerial]]s by activating the Super Leaf float after initiating their down aerials.

**{{SSB4|Toon Link}} can also do this, but only if he hits an opponent.
